Agenda
- Pick location for next weekly
- Node notes:
NodeArborLodge -- have been doing some research about usage, ideas about recruiting more supporters, Russell in contact with
NodeBergie -- updated hardware, an APU1 now in his attic
- new node hardware option:
RussellSenior tried out a D-Link DIR-860L B1 (circa $32), a 2x2 802.11ac router. As with all 802.11ac routers, the radio driver involves a firmware blob, which is unfortunate. The upside is that it's cheap and there is LEDE open-source support for the rest of the system.
- corporate administration tasks (corporate renewal, etc)
- offer of DNS hosting, with a small string, discuss

Notes
- D-Link DIR-860L B1 has a mediatec radio, which means possible better radio support in the future (but currently firmware blob).
- Also Meraki en-route (PPC/coldfire?)
- On nodes the /etc/dropbear/authorized_keys should be created with permissions 600.
MattKlug will bring the former NodeBergie hardware to a future meeting to fix the IP on the uplink (it was static).
NodeBergie built with LEDE, RussellSenior updated instructions.
- and API updates.
NodeArborLodge Nathan prompted Amanda to respond, which noted landlord moved back to house, so gear is able to be picked up.
- replace former gateway at Aaron's house with repeater.

BenFoote will be back next week we can ask about splash page mods to solicit ArborLodge donations.
